Love to Run St. Charles
Love to Run St. Charles is a road and trail running event in historic downtown St. Charles that offers three distances. All races start on the Katy Trail near Bike Stop Café and the Katy Depot and pass along the Missouri River and through Frontier Park. Organizers describe the routes as flat and fast and note a soft, shady, non-technical bonus trail section off the Katy.
Distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
Registration includes a race t-shirt, finisher medal, live race results, race photos, awards for top finishers and a post-race celebration with music, food and drinks. Travlin' Tom's Coffee Truck and Kona Ice are onsite for purchases, and Good News beer is donated for the finish area. On-course hydration includes water and an electrolyte drink; athletes are asked to carry their own nutrition.
Packet pickup takes place the day before the race at Bike Stop Cafe, 701 S. Riverside Dr., St. Charles, MO. Parking is available in a public lot across from the Katy Depot, along Riverside Drive, or at the Lewis and Clark Boathouse and Museum lot. Cutoff times are 3.5 hours for the half marathon and 3 hours for the 5K and 10K. There is a no refund policy and organizers may cancel or modify the course for safety. Photos from the public event may be used in promotional materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
